Preparation
− Cover your floor and furniture with a blanket or other
protective material to avoid possible damage.
− Create sufficient secure and free workspace around
your fire.
− Determine the required dimensions and number of
PROMAFOUR
®
construction boards.
− Cut the PROMAFOUR
®
construction boards to the
right size.
Safety recommendations
Only use safe equipment, wear safety gloves, goggles,
shoes and a dust mask.
Important recommendations
A.
Depending on the type of stove (wood- or gas-fired)
and its dimensions, we recommend that you build the
PROMAFOUR
®
encasement as described in the table on
p.15 and following the installation instructions.
B.
When encasing a large fire, if you intend attaching heavier
objects, such as a flat screen or a mirror to the encasement
or if you want to tile it, we recommend a PROMAFOUR
®
construction board with a thickness of 18 mm.
C.
Provide a 3 mm wide gap between the peripheral edge of
the stove and the PROMAFOUR
®
construction board, in
order to allow it to expand when heated without damag-
ing the entire system.
D.
See our recommendations on p.13 for the finishing of the
angles.
Tip
− PROMAFOUR
®
construction boards can be cut to size
and installed very easily by means of traditional equip-
ment. They can also be combined with other building
materials. They can be cut to size on request, even with
chamfered edges or mitered angles.
− We recommend the use of PROMAFOUR
®
-GLUE 1000,
not only to guarantee stronger joints, but also to obtain
a better sealing at the joints. This also allows better
positioning of the boards prior to final fixing by means
of screws and staples.
− It is simple to rough-drill the holes before fixing the
screws (8 mm from the outer edge for 15 mm boards).
We recommend to use a drill with a slightly smaller
diameter than the diameter of the screw. Then place
the screw upright in the hole and screw it down.
− To obtain a better finish to the drilled holes, they can
also be pre-milled. The screws can then be fully screwed
into the board and the heads can be finished with
PROMAFOUR
®
-HT JOINTFILLER.
− Provide reinforcement at the backside of each joint.
− PROMAFOUR
®
waste may be disposed of with ordinary
building material waste (observe the local and national
legislation).
